That &. :. Martin proposes to make
every dollar possible out OF the Reg
ister's office. becomes more and more
apparent. Il was Of a few days Oe-
curenee since he charged 3 man
three dolIdrs and forty cents for the
recording Of a simple deed, covering
one page. The description did not
occupy over three lines in writing.
The legal fee for recording these
instruments is y cents for the first
hundred words and 10 cents for
each subsequent hundred words, )
cents for indexing and 10 cents for
certifying. The kind Of deed
we refer to by actual count, contains
lust about 80 words and should have
cost IS cents. The ordinary charge
is 81 y, while we do not know by
what rule Of reckoning he makes
even the latter charge. The name
Of the party having the deed record
ed can be obtained 1t this Ofiiee Tide
sired. Here Is another Of the Regis
ter's charges. The party paid
$l:I5 for recording q certain deed. A
few daysafter he had another record
ed, not much more than half as long
as the other. When he came to pay
the bill Mr.. Martin told him sl:S5.
Being handed the deed he saw $l.OO
marked on the out side, and ON ask
ing the reason Of the surplus charge
was told Il was for the clerk. We
have been hearing Of these extra
charges o. AlE. Martin.

OF all the discussions over the
great find of 155 feet of rock salt at
Ellsworth, no mention has been
made of the fact that the mine is
located on the lands Of Mr.. Joseph
Cochrane, joining the city, aud
whose property has been largely adj
vanced thereby. a few years ago
Mr.. COchrane and Mr.. Houston, a
brother-in-law bought half section
joining town for 5000, 100 to each.
The midland railroad coming In
and demanding depot grounds, Mr..
Houston sold his quarter for $500,
Mr.. COchrane holding on to his.
Since then he was offered 500 an

Mr.. Campbell is no politician, and

NIIpIil III" I'llubfD'FII NlhUuu ~
The base ball season which started
with such fever of public interest has fallen
into zero temperturc It's prosperity has
wane1 as swiftly as at first it waxcd and
from all quarters come tidings of the drop
ping of players, the disbanding of clubs and
the dissolution of the smaller leagues. Our
own Eastern league is one of the earliest to
die; or, more strictly speaking, while not
yet dead it is moribund Out of the orig
inal six clubs only three are left and before
another fortnight is over the league list is
likely to reduce itself to a figure represented
by single goose egg"
The base ball season this year started
with too much of bull market This is
undoubtedly the first and most potential
cause of its early failure. Salaries, partc-
ularly those of pitcher and catcher, were
forced by competition up TO a figure at
which a club could be sustained by nothing
less than city of a hundred thousand in
habitants or more md with very intense
local interest in the game. We had at first
the local interest in New Haven and else
where, but it appears to have been a transi
tory boom" and a vain dependence o.
base ball managers. 1t quickly died au
but the big salaries and travelling expen
went on. Even success didn't continue e.
popular desire for the game, as the early
DISARMAMENT of the high priced Bridgeport
team showed In fact, base ball this year
started on the wrong basis. Instead of be.
ginning on the ground floor and working
up it started on the top story and has come
down.
Over and above every other cause, how
ever, is the question whether popular inter
est can ever be long sustained in profes-
sonal ball playing by second rate clubs As
yet, people, most of them, think of our ma
tlonal game as sport not as profession.
1t is hard to pump up interest in contests
where the results turns on a question of dol
lars and where we all know certain large
number of dollars will get nine
that will beat another hired nine by
a less number. Nor is it possible to feel
very intense local spirit in teams, not a
member of which is indigenous to the local
soil, but bought in an outside market like so
many bales of goods. And this suggests
what we hope base ball in Connecticut will
come to ere long, namely a league of anna
teur clubs, actual residents and voters of
our cities or larger towns playing altogether
not more than half dozen games a season
i'll any one place and with every profession
al feature except the necessary gate money
strictly barred Four or five clubs of that
cast would make a Connecticut league
worth the having and it wouldn't detract
from the interest a particle if they occa .
sioally missed fly, passed a ball or fun
bled a hit. People who wish to see base
ball played as a genuine sport must see it
played by amateurs If they wish to see it
played as a profession and as a mechanical
aud scientific performance they will only
be content with the contests of the very
best league teams and not the "rivalryn of
those who simply play ball pretty well for
amateurs and pretty poorly for profes-

A ChCep Fruit DRYER.

The drying of fruits for market has
grown into an important industry in
many sections Of the country and conse-
quently there has been called into exist
ence large number Of patent cvapor-
ators. The patent affairs are many of
them quite perfect in their way, and af-
ford a great convenience and saving of
labor where large quantities Of fruit arc
to be handled. Many farmers, however,
dry only enough fruit for their own con-
sumption, and can i'll afford TO purchase
an evaporator for the purpose. This class

FIG. 2-COw MANGER.

The new style manger illustrated in the
second cut is described in Prairie Farmer
as follows: The manager should slope well
back, and should have feed box at the
bottom. The floor should slope one inch
in six feet, and should be divided into
stalls three feet wide, or wider for large
COWS.
The novel feature in this is the pole in
back part of the stall. 1t ought to be
placed just far back enough SO that the
cows hind feet are behind it while she is
still or eating This causes all droppings
to fail behind the pole. When she wishes
to lie down she will lower her head, step
forward and lie down in front of the pole,
where she never becomes soilcd with the
manure. The stick or pole should be
firmly fastened to the floor.
